Definitions

  • the invention relates to a combination plant container.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of creating a plant container, - which can be connected to plant containers of the same type on all sides and in all directions due to its design features; - which can be used as a component for plant landscapes, plant pots, noise barriers, etc. - which enables the reconstruction or modification of plant landscapes without having to transplant the plants, - Which, due to its design features, ensures the uniform moistening and irrigation of all horizontally and vertically arranged plant containers.
  • a connecting element and possibly a stabilizing rail are required to solve this comprehensive task. All three elements can be made of plastic or plastic-coated metal and their dimensions should be exactly coordinated.
  • the combination plant container according to the invention is a component for the construction of plant land of any size and suitable for the creation of plant containers of any type and size.
  • the combination plant containers can be connected to each other on all sides and in all directions (length, height, depth), with any desired insertion of additional stabilizing rails for large structures (e.g. noise protection walls, plant containers for trees, etc.) static strength is achieved.
  • the plant container resembles a cube with six square side walls of the same size, all side walls are arranged at right angles to one another, - the edges of the plant container do not form sharp corners, but are rounded, at least one or more, possibly all, side walls of the plant container have an opening, - five or less closed sides of the plant container have predetermined breaking points due to incisions, perforations or wall thinnings, by pressing, knocking in or cutting in, the removal of a side wall part of any shape and size according to the existing predetermined breaking points is made possible, - all twelve edges of the plant container each have a slot in the middle of the length of the edges, - The edge slots serve to accommodate a connection element, which clamps together plant containers arranged side by side or one above the other.
  • a U-shaped connecting clip is advantageously used, which is characterized in that the length of the connecting clips is one millimeter below the length of the edge slots, so that the connecting clips can be easily inserted into the edge slots and still have only a slight play in the length, -
  • the legs of the connecting clip taper towards each other from the back until they touch each other and then diverge again until they are at least as far apart from each other on their inner sides after a distance of 1 - 10 mm at their ends as twice the wall thickness of the Plant container, the legs of the connecting clips have an overall length which depends on the size of the plant containers and which is between 5 and 95% of the individual edge length, the distance between the inner sides of the legs is greatest at the back and there is at least 2 times the wall thickness of the plant containers, -
  • the same connecting clips are used, which are only matched in length to the length of the vertical incisions in the stabilization rail so that they are approx. 1 mm shorter than the vertical incisions in the stabilization rail -
  • the connection clips are made
  • the rectangular stabilization rail which is characterized in that - the thickness (height and depth) is matched to the dimensions of the edge slots in the plant containers and the height and depth are each slightly smaller than the edge slots in the plant containers, - the length depends on the number of vertically or horizontally arranged plant containers in a line and is calculated from the number of plant containers in a line multiplied by the edge length of the plant container in cm, - there are regular rectangular incisions in the middle between the lower and upper edge, the height of which is 10 - 90% of the height of the stabilizing rail and the width of which corresponds to the total width of the incisions of the edge slots in a side wall of the plant container, - The incisions are arranged so that the width of the edge slots of the plant container 100% match after inserting the stabilizing rail into the plant container when the beginning and end of the stabilizing rail are exactly flush with the plant containers.
  • An embodiment of a combination plant container according to the invention has the following dimensions: End and side walls (1) 150 mm x 150 mm x 1.5 mm Bottom (1) 150 mm x 150 mm x 1 mm Lid edge (1a) 25 mm wide Incision, perforations or skin thinning (1c) length 100 mm, width approx. 1 - 2 mm Predetermined breaking point, breaking edge (1d) approx. 2 - 4 mm wide Channels for predetermined breaking points (1e) max. 7 mm width max. 10 mm depth Side wall part (1f) approx. 100 x 100 mm Lid opening (1b) 100 x 100 mm Edge slits (2) Length 40 mm width from inner edge of side wall 5 mm Edges (3) R 2mm / length 150 mm

  • the equally large square end walls (1) and side walls (1) of the plant container are arranged opposite each other and form a rectangular container.
  • the square base plate (1) which is also of the same size, and the square, partially open lid (1a + 1b), which is also opposite the base plate, are arranged at right angles to this.
  • Bottom plate (1) and lid (1a + 1b) each end with the lower edge or upper edge of the front (1) and side walls (1).
  • the opening (1b) of the partially open cover (1a + 1b) is square and lies exactly in the middle.
  • the opening (1b) is 10 to 30% smaller in its dimensions than the dimensions of the walls (1), so that all four adjacent side walls (1) have an edge (1a) of the same size.
  • the plant container is like a hollow cube with five closed (1) and one partially open (1a + 1b) wall.
  • the five closed sides (1) of the plant container have predetermined breaking points (1d) through incisions, perforations or wall thickness thinnings (1c), which enable a side wall part (1f) of any shape and size to be pressed in, hammered in or cut in according to the existing predetermined breaking points (1d).
  • the remaining breaking edges (1d) lie in channels (1e) which are located in the remaining side wall (1a).
  • the removed side wall part (1f) has predetermined breaking points (1d) through incisions, perforations or wall thickness connections (1c), which allow the removed side wall part (1f) to be halved.
  • All twelve edges (3) of the cubic plant container are not sharply angular, but slightly rounded.
  • all twelve edges (3) of the plant container there are slots (2) in their center, based on the length of the edges (3), which in each of the side walls (1) forming the edges (3), depending on the size of the plant container 1 Cut mm to 10 mm deep.
  • All twelve edge slots (2) have the same length, which can be between 10% and 90% of an edge length (3) of the plant container. Accordingly, all closed edge pieces are of the same length, so that all distances from the start or end of the edge slot to the nearest edge end are of the same length.
  • the plant containers Due to their cube shape (sides of equal size - (1), front (1), bottom (1) and top (1a + 1b) - the plant containers can be lined up in any direction as often as desired.
  • the central position of the edge slots (2) guarantees that they always lie exactly next to each other when plant containers are lined up, one above the other or one behind the other, so that the U-shaped connecting clips (B1) can be pushed in and thus clamp the side wall (1) of a plant container and the side wall of the plant container next to it the connection clips (B1) in all four times two adjacent edge slots of both plant containers achieve a high connection strength.
  • An even higher static strength is achieved by inserting a stabilizing rail. After pushing the stabilizing rail through the edge slots (2) on the inside of a side wall (1), this runs parallel to this.
  • the plant containers can be used as components for plant landscapes or as building blocks for plant containers of any type or size, with either the connecting clips or stabilizing rail and connecting clips serving as connecting elements, depending on the requirement of static strength.
  • the connecting clip (B1) serves to connect plant containers of the same type. It is like a U, the leg (5) tapering towards one another from the back and diverging again after the point of contact.
  • the width (4a) of the connecting clip (B1) is slightly below the length of the edge slot (2), so that it can be easily inserted into the edge slots (2) and still has only a slight play with its width (4a) in it.
  • the legs el (5) of the connecting clip (B, B1) have an overall length which depends on the size of the plant container and which is between 5% and 95% of the individual edge length of a plant container.
  • the legs (5) of the connecting clip run conically towards each other from the back (6) until they touch each other.
  • the same connecting clips (B) are used, the width (4) of which is matched to the length of the vertical incisions (11) in the stabilization rail so that they are slightly shorter than the vertical incisions (11) in the stabilization rail.
  • connection clips are such that the clamping force at the contact points of their legs (5) is sufficient to clamp together two plant containers, each with connection clips inserted opposite one another, to a slight compressive stress.
  • the plant containers are stably connected to each other in that the connecting clip is inserted into the edge slots (2) of the plant containers located next to each other up to its back so that one leg (5) on the inside of one plant container and the other leg on the inside of the other plant container.
  • the irrigation element serves both to irrigate the combination planter standing in it as well as the shaky connection of the plant container. When using the irrigation element, it is no longer the plant containers themselves that are connected but the irrigation elements with the connecting clips (FIGS. 15 and 17).
  • the irrigation element resembles a square vessel which is open at the top and has opposite end walls (14) and side walls (19). Both side walls (19) have predetermined breaking points (12) in the middle, which enable a side wall part to be cut out. Both end walls (14) have in their center an opening (18) which is identical to the opening which is created in the side walls (19) after the predetermined breaking points (12) have been cut out.
  • the opening (18) begins with a vertical slit of approx.
  • the opening (18) in the end wall serves both to receive the connection clips for connecting the irrigation elements and to flow water from one irrigation element to the next.
  • the same function is performed by opening the side wall at the predetermined breaking points (12).
  • a holding strut (15) which has a height of 10 mm and a length of approximately 50 mm, runs parallel to the end wall (14) at a distance of approx. 3 mm to the end wall (14) on the floor (17). It lies in the middle of the end wall and serves to press the closure plate ( Figure 14) when the connection opening is to be closed.
  • the fixing cylinders (16) are hollow, so that the upper planter can be connected to the ones underneath by inserting pins. Also starting from the base plate (17) there are two securing cylinders (20) diagonally opposite one another at right angles from the end wall (14) and side wall (19). A pin guided through this tubular securing cylinder (20) connects all the irrigation elements arranged one above the other and secures them against slipping.
  • retaining tabs On the end faces (14) there are two retaining tabs (13), which are bent at right angles to the outside. These retaining tabs (13) are arranged opposite one another so that the retaining tab (13) of one Place the irrigation element on the front wall next to the retaining tabs of the other irrigation element, thus additionally securing free-floating irrigation elements against slipping downwards.
  • FIG. 13 shows a seal 21 for arrangement between two irrigation elements (see FIG. 17).
  • FIG. 14 shows a closure plate 22 for closing an irrigation element at the end (see FIG. 17).
  • the stabilizing bar is a rectangular rod, the height (9) and depth (10) of which are matched to the dimensions of the edge slots (2) in the plant containers and which is slightly smaller in these dimensions than the edge slots in the plant containers.
  • Its length (8) depends on the number of vertically or horizontally arranged plant containers in a line and corresponds exactly to the number of plant containers multiplied by an edge length.
  • In the middle between the bottom and top edge of the stabilization bar there are regular rectangular incisions (11), the height of which is between 10% and 90% of the height of the stabilization bar.
  • the width of the vertical rectangular cuts (11) on the stabilizing rail corresponds to the total width of the cuts of the edge slots (2) in one side wall (1) of the plant container, measured from the inside edge of the other side wall.
  • the distances between the incisions (11) are arranged so that that after the insertion of the stabilization rail into the plant container, they are 100% identical in their width with the edge slots (2) of the plant container when the beginning and end of the stabilization rail end exactly with the plant containers.
  • the stabilizing rail is used wherever high static strength of the interconnected plant containers is important. This case can be particularly with noise protection walls and when creating larger plant containers, e.g. B. for trees.
  • the stabilizing bar can be inserted into any of the twelve edge slots in a plant container. It exits at the opposite edge slot (2) of the same side wall (1) and penetrates into the edge slot (2) of the plant container next to it. It runs on the inside of the side walls (1) of the plant containers and lines them up like pearls on a string of pearls.
  • connection clips (B) can be pushed in and connect two plant containers and the stabilizing rail. So the two adjacent side walls of a plant container and the stabilizing rail are clamped together.
  • the horizontal expansion is unlimited, while the vertical structure is statically harmless up to several meters in height, since the plant containers are given additional strength through the filling with soil and through the subsequent rooting of the plant containers in the edge slot areas.
  • any desired form of plant landscapes or plant containers e.g. tower, terrace, pyramid, hill surface, wall, etc.
  • any desired greening form can be carried out, especially in urban greening measures, since the setting on difficult terrain is unproblematic.
  • the possibility of integrating composting and the avoidance of transplanting enables the greening of problem areas in which plants no longer grow in conventional plant containers.
  • the plants can be arranged so that the plant containers are almost completely covered by the plants.
  • the walls of the planter can be planted or planted combination plant containers can be attached to the walls, so that the walls of the tree tub can also be completely greened.
  • the large number of plants in the smallest space opens up new perspectives in terms of plant diversity and quantity for the hobby gardener.
  • the richness of species and the size of an allotment garden can be cultivated even on the smallest balcony in city apartments.
